During a heated exchange on CNN NewsNight, Abby Phillip challenged Joe Borelli's assertion about Rep. LaMonica McIver's rights to enter an ICE detention center. McIver participated in a visit following a controversial arrest of Newark's Mayor Ras Baraka, which led to charges announced against her. Phillip clarified that lawmakers have the inherent right to conduct oversight in such facilities, countering Borelli's comparisons to past GOP actions and stressing the significance of congressional oversight.
Borelli's argument was interrupted by Phillip who insisted that members of Congress do possess the right to conduct oversight visits, making a clear distinction.
In response to Borelliâs comments about Rep. McIverâs visit, Phillip emphasized that the law provides Congress members with rights that extend to facility access.
